BGF is on the lookout for ambitious Scottish businesses with bold growth plans. Since 2012 we have provided more than £250m in funding for businesses across Scotland. Our evergreen balance sheet enables us to take a long-term view when backing businesses, so there are no artificial timelines or deadlines. And as a minority investor, we only ever take stakes of between 10-40% in the business we back.
From high tech lasers in Glasgow to family housebuilders in Fife, we have invested in businesses across the Central Belt and the South of Scotland in a range of different sectors and stages, but all with one common factor – great management teams. Whether you are looking to enter new markets or geographies, make a game-changing acquisition, or launch new products or technologies, we can help. It’s investment, just as it should be.
Funding businesses in the Central Belt & South of Scotland
Since 2017, BGF has invested in Walker Precision Engineering, a manufacturer of high precision components
- The Glasgow-based business caters primarily to the defence, aerospace and industrial industries.
- £4m of funding from BGF, has allowed Walker to invest in more specialist machinery, enabling it to keep pace with increasing demand from its clients.
Housebuilding company Campion Homes has benefited from BGF investment since July 2016
- As well as private residential homes, the Fife-based business also builds affordable housing, working with the local authorities in East Central Scotland.
- BGF's multi-million pound funding is being used to support Campion’s five-year plan to build 700 new homes.
BGF invested in the Cumbernauld-based business Moulded Foams since January 2019.
- The company, which BGF has backed since January 2019, is the UK’s largest independent manufacturer of moulded foam products.
- The funding is being used to continue Moulded Foams’ growth trajectory.
Scotland’s strength is in its community. We should all be about connecting people and asking what we can do to serve our fellow entrepreneurs."
